Hello list, I have some problem configuring X with the garphic controler 82865 of Intel. With some effort I've succeded to get an X desktop with a resolution of 1280x1024 and a colordepth of 8 bit. A higher color depth isn't possible. To achieve this I have installed xfbdef and the latest patch for SAX2 for SuSE 8.0, which I am using currently. Furthermore I have installed the current driver for the i830 chipset from Intel, and recompield my kernel. I have put the line vga=795 to my lilo.conf, but when I want to configure with SAX2, Sax2 won't start, but writes the logfile insteas which I've appended to this email. The behaviour is the same, if I using lilo with vga=795 or vga=775. Typing hwinfo -framebuffer gives the Memory: Memory Size: 0 MB + 832 KB For further informatations: I'm running SuSE 8.0 on a DELL Computer (Optiplex GX-270). Has anyone an idea? Thank's in advance! Alexander (See attached file: SaX.log)

Can you send me the XF86Config and the XFree86.0.log file, so I can have a look, and see if I can figure this problem out? Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
